As I wait for what seems like it an eternity for Fortress Maximus to arrive, I decided to address the Titans Return Wave 1 deluxes. At this moment they are likely arriving at a toy store near you. If you haven’t found them yet, be persistent. You want these guys. You know you do. Wave 1 consists of Skullsmasher, Scourge, […]

It’s no secret that here at the Allspark we’re big fans of the photography style used by Departure Time 2012. The dynamic poses, excellent lighting, and use of special effects props makes for beautiful photos of our favorite figures. This weekend we highlight their recent Combiner Wars Hot Spot gallery, which shows the Protectobot leader getting down to business.

Update: Hasbro has released the full image of these figures so we’ve replaced the rumor image with that. Enjoy! Directly from the official Transformers Facebook page we have confirmation of the rumors that have been circulating about Wildrider and Slingshot getting official Hasbro releases.
